still issued few hoarss sounds more like the whimpering of a cat than the roaring of lion. In tue meantime the spectators were cheering the bull, insulting the dying lion and throwing cigar stumps, orange peels and empty bottles at the gallant colonel, who took this contemptuous bombardment very coolly. He had already been through much more serious fusillades on southern battle fields; and, after all, what was the skin of his old lion worth iE comparison with his share of the gate money, or what did he care how loudly 15, 900 Spaniards might yell at him after they had paid so handsomely for the privilege?

Kansas City is growing fast. It is soberly related that when Jay Gould was there the other day he went into bookstore to get a map of the place. The proprietor had only one, and it, he deprecatingly admitted, was eight days old, and therefore quite obsolete in that enterprising town.

The Japanese are progressive people. They have already completed two good-sized sections of a railroad which is to traverse the entire country, the construction of which the government recently decided upon. It is expected that the entire lire will be com pleted in about four years. Japan is also considering the question of establishing an other telegraphic line. She is already con nected with Europe by two lines, one pass ing by way of Hong Kong and India, and the other by way of China and Siberia. All the large towns and important places in the interior of the country are now reported to be connected with the capital of Japan by telegraph.

An interesting spot is the railroad tie nur- sery situated near the little town of Farling- ton, Kansas, in the southern part of the State. It is said to be the largest artificial plantation of forest trees in North America, and is owned by the Southern Pacific. The difficult sections have been planted, respect iyely, two, four and six years, one-fourth be- ing planted with the ailanthus, the rest with the catalpa, together with a few of white ash. Those first planted are now about twenty-five feet in height, the last about twelve, and some of the taller are seven inches through the stem. There are in all about three million trees, in full vigor, on the plantation; all were planted four feet apart each way, to shade the ground, though eight feet is the ultimate intention, this plan allowing three-fourths of the trees to be cut when they are fit for fence posts. When rather larger it is expected the trees will mako excellent railroad ties in great num- bers-that is, after a thinning-out process there will be some nine hundred thousand trees to come to maturity. The area of this
 vast railroad tie nursery is to be still further
 increased.

Lieutenant Governor Chauncey F. Black, of Pennsylvania, is hearty support CT of President Cleveland. With regard to the Pennsylvania Democrats, Mir. Black does not believe there is a thing among them which would cause even ripple of opposi- tion to unanimous delegation in support of the Presidents renomination and more than a full party vote in the State. MT. Cleve- land, he adds, has many friends outside of his party in Pennsylvania. In conclusion, Governor Black says: doubt whether we could do it with a new man, but with Presi- dent Cleveland I think our chances are far better in New York, Connecticut, New Jer- sey and Indiana, and more than even in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota against Mr. Blaine. will say now that the Demo- cratic party must win on President Cleve- lands record or not at all.

A WAToHMAKER,s FAME.

]. s. Bartlett was ono Of the origi-
nal foromen in the pioneer Waltham
factory, and his name was adopted rs
n trademark and has been running rs
such very nearly thirty years. At tho
lowest calculation 5000 Bartlett
watches have been mado and sold
Tho exact figures arc not at hand, but
this is about rs near as can bo esti-
mated. The Bartlett watch is unqucs-
tionably ono of tho most popular
watches ever made. 1t ranks almost
as high as the adjusted Appleton,
Tracy & Co.." and is, in fact, con-
structod on tho same model. The pat
ent regulator Bartlett is full jowelcd
has componsating balance fitted with
the Waltham patont Breguct hair
spring, which is hardened and tom
percd in form so rs never to change its
curve, and is very closely regulated. 1t
is made for any kind of silver or gold
cases. The latest improvement in the
Bartlett watch is in the opon-facc style
to wind and set without ever OPENING q
the case, the winding as well rs tho
hand-setting being done by the crown
only. Unlike the arrangements in 9th
CT watches this Bartlett hand-sct is in
the neck of the case, SO that it does not
at all complicatc the movement. Up
ward of 1000 of them have been pur-
chased by the British Government dur
ing the past ten years and arc used on
the state railways in India For the
same purpose tho colonial authorities
of New South Wales, Victoria and
South Australia have largo orders in
hand. Through these excellent time
keepers p. S. Bartlctt's name is known
in all civilized countries. Y. Jctocl-

Wise Words for Boys.


Many people seem to forget that
character grows-that it is not some
thing to put on ready made with wom-
anhood or manhood, but day by day,
here little and there n little, grows
with the growth and strengthens with
the strength, until, good or bad, il be-
comes almost coat of mail. Look Mt
man of busincss-prompt, reliable,
conscientious. yet clear-headed and en-
ergctic. When do you suppose he de-
veloped all those admirable qualitiesP
When he was boy. Let us see how q
boy of ten years gets up in the morn
ing, works, plays and studies, and We
will tell you just what kind of man
he will make. The boy that is late at
breakfast, and late at school, stands p
poor chance to be n prompt man. Tic
boy who neglects his duties, be they
ever SO small, and then excuses himself
by saying: ~ forget, / don't think, "
will never be reliable man; and tho
boy who finds pleasure in the suflt wing
of weaker things, will never be mo-
BILE, generous, kind mana gentleman.

The Truth Fell Flat.

Major Stofah heard conundrum in
Newspaper Row to the effect that a
newspaper man was like truth, because,
though crushed to earth, he would rise
again, and he concluded to spring it on
his best girl. That same evening he
saw her, and the first chance he got he
let 1t go.
"Why," he said to her, "why is n
newspaper man like truth?" and his
face shonc with triumphant expectancy.
II didn't know he was" she replied,
with childlike innocence, and the Ma
jor's triumph went out and shook hands
with defeat. Washington Critic.

Marrying with a Peck of Meal.

In the year 1867 two persons left Dal-
keith for Galashicls; and not having
the requisite funds to get married by
n minister, they each took handful OF
meal and knelt down, facing each other
after placing basin between them.
Both then placed their hands full OF
meal in the basin and mixed it, in token
that they "would not sever till death
did them part" After swearing TO this
effect on Bible they both rose up and
declared themselves man and wife.
They afterward returned to Dalkcith,
where they resided as man and wife,
the marriage being considered perfectly

Several months before, n young man
named Robertson, tired and worn-out
looking, had applied for board at the
Pritchard farm, situated In a rough dis
trict of Kentucky. When told by the
widow that she could not accommo-
date him, he replied: II want no ac-
commodations. / merely want to stay
here few days and fare as you do"
His tone of voice was SO appealing, and
his manners bespoke such gentlcmanly
consideration, hat Mrs. Pritchard could
not refuse him. Tho few days length
ened into weeks, the weeks into
months, and still the young man
showed no disposition to leave the
place; and, it can also be said, the old
woman and her daughter exhibited no
desire TO part with his company.
Martha was, every one said, n
"strango sort of girl" Her features
were regular and her countenancc had
that cast of melancholy which becomes
beautiful when the light of smile is
thrown upon it. She was not so tall
that she required superior grace to
save her from awkwardncss, neither
was she so short of stature that cer-
tain, yet inexpressiblc, litheness es-
capped her.

the widow asked. The girl, when her
mother began 10 spoak in Ro5ertson's
praise, had turned away and was busy
ing herself with plaster-of-paris kit

mantle-piece.
